Directions:From an email received on 08/08/2007 from Cousin Nancy Errico -
"Hi Melissa, Here's the basics - for each 4 or 5 tomatoes use 2 cloves of garlic.
Mash the garlic and mash a handful of fresh basil with it - add salt to help the mashing process (it's important to mash rather than cut up in little pieces.
To peel the tomatoes put a little cross on the non-stem side and put in boiling water until you see the peels start to curl off the tomato. Put them in a bowl until they cool. Once cool begin peeling with your hands and cutting the tomatoes into chunks.
Add the garlic basil mix to the tomatoes and additional pieces of basil to the tomatoes. Add the olive oil and salt depending on your tastes. Depending on the juiciness of the tomatoes or lack thereof you might want to add a scoop of water to the sauce.
Enjoy on top of pasta and sprinkle with cheese. (I like Romano) Love nanc" |
